Operation Procedures
Knowledge of the proper operation of the M200H is required to ensure user
safety and efficient performance of the extractor.
SET UP AND OPERATION
1. Electrical Cords:
Two 25’ power cords are supplied with the Olympus M200H. The power draw requires that the Cord #1 be
plugged into a 20amp circuit. Cord #2 can be on a 15amp circuit, unless the M200H has an Auto Pump-Out
system, if it is used, then Cord #2 must be on a 20amp circuit.
Plug the two power cords into two outlets from different circuits.
If you are not sure if you are connected to separate circuits, use a Breaker Buddy (item # AX49), available
from Hydro-Force, to test your circuits in the following manner:
• Plug the cords into the two outlets being tested, and then plug the Breaker Buddy into the two cords.
• If the green indicator light fails to light, you may be on the same circuit and must select a different
plug for one of the cords.
• If the green indicator light comes on, you are plugged into two different circuits; connect the cords to
the machine and proceed with your set-up procedure.
If a circuit breaker trips during operation, reset the breaker and move the cord to another outlet as needed.

2A. Water Supply & Chemical Mixing– Manual Fill:
•Pour up to 12 gallons of hot water into the solution tank at the front of the machine. The water
temperature in the tank cannot exceed 140°F.
• Measure and add the appropriate amount of the desired liquid chemical to the water in the solution tank.
The amount of chemical will vary depending on the type of chemical used, the amount of water in the
tank, and the material being cleaned; consult the chemical packaging for specific mixture ratios.
• Powdered chemicals should be dissolved in water before adding to the water in the solution tank.
DO NOT RUN OUT OF WATER WHILE USING THE MACHINE! Ensure that the tank
contains enough water to complete each job. If the water level is low: stop cleaning, turn off the
pump, and refill the tank. Running the pump dry will damage the pump and void the warranty.
Pour appropriate amount of hot water into
Add appropriate amount of chemical to water
2B. Water Supply & Chemical Dilution – Optional Auto-Fill System:
• The chemical dilution rate is controlled by the metering tip, and the dilution rate can only be changed by
changing the metering tip (See “How to Change the Metering Tip” on Page 10 for instructions.)
Chemical Feed Setup:
• Remove the chemical feed hose from the solution tank.
• Place the end of the hose into a container of liquid chemical.
• If the tip is removed, and the proportioning system operated with no tip, the dilution rate will be 8:1 (the
equivalent to adding 16-1/4oz of chemical to each gallon of water.)
• The standard tip used with the M200H is the turquoise tip with a dilution rate of 256:1. This means that
for each gallon of water flowing into the machine, 1/2 ounce of chemical will be added.
• If a fresh water rinse with no chemical is desired, simply leave the chemical feed hose inside the
solution tank.

Metering Tip Kit – PDE001
Metering Tip Kit (Hydro-Force Item# PDE001) contains 14 different colored metering tips, allowing
dilution rates from 11:1 up to 427:1. Refer to the chart below to select the tip that meets the dilution rate for
your chemical application.
• For example: if you require 1-1/2 ounces of chemical per gallon of water, change to the red metering tip
with the dilution rate of 85:1.
• The dilution rates are based on chemicals with water-like viscosity. Thicker (more viscous) chemicals will
dilute at a different rate.
• For powdered chemicals, a liquid concentrate must be made. Mix the concentrate according to the
manufacturer’s directions, and then select the appropriate metering tip.
• Contact your distributor or Hydro-Force if you have questions about your chemical.

3. Priming the High-Pressure Pump:
Once water is in the solution tank, the high-pressure solution pump must be primed:
• Connect the short prime hose to the solution outlet (female quick-connect on the front of the
machine.)
• Direct the end of the hose back into the solution tank and turn the solution pump switch to the ON
position.
• When a steady stream of water is flowing out of the hose, turn off the solution pump, remove the
hose, and proceed with the set-up procedures.
If the pump does not prime quickly, the vacuum may be used to aid priming:
• Direct the end of the short prime hose into the vacuum barb on the front of the machine.
• Turn on one or both of the vacuum motors
• Turn on the solution pump.
• Cup a hand around the hose & barb to increase the vacuum suction on the hose.
• When water is flowing out of the hose, direct the hose to the solution tank and turn off the vacuum
motors to ensure the flow continues when the vacuum is removed.
• When the flow is steady, turn off the solution pump, remove the hose, and proceed with machine set-
up procedures.
If the pump still does not prime, or if flow is low or unsteady, check the hose from the solution tank to the
pump (as well as the inline filter) for clogging, kinks, or restrictions. Clean or replace hose and/or filter and
repeat the priming procedure.
If you are having trouble with the pump, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.

6. Optional Auto Pump-out System - Connection of Pump-out Hose:
The pump-out hose is a 50’ section of 3/4” garden hose.
• Remove the cap from the pump-out outlet fitting on the back of the machine.
• Connect the pump-out hose to the outlet fitting.
• Place the other end of the hose in a commode or drain connected to the sanitary sewer system.
• Secure hose end to prevent movement during pumping.
Use defoamer to prevent foam build-up in recovery tank during cleaning and to keep foam/moisture
from entering vacuums.
When ready to begin cleaning, turn the waste pump switch to the ON position.
• Do not turn on waste pump switch unless pump-out hose is connected and has been routed
to a proper drain.

Connect the Female Garden Hose Fitting end of the
Pump-out Hose to the outlet fitting on the back of the
recovery tank. Place the other end of the pump-out
hose in a sanitary drain.
6A. Waste Tank Shutoff:
If not equipped with an Auto Pump-out System or not using the waste pump-out, the pump-out hose does
not need to be connected. When the recovery tank fills during cleaning, the float ball assembly in the vacuum
inlet filter will rise and will automatically shut off the vacuum air flow to prevent the recovery tank from
overfilling and waste water from getting into the vacuums. When this occurs:
• Immediately shut off the vacuum switches.
• Drain the recovery tank.
o Turn off the pump switch while draining the tank.
o Turn pump switch back upon resumption of cleaning.
• Close the drain valve and turn the vacuum switches back on when ready to resume cleaning.
If the pump-out or vacuum shutoff is not working properly, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact
your distributor for advice or assistance.

7. Pressure Adjustment:
The pressure regulator of the M200H is not adjustable. It is preset at the maximum pressure setting of
200psi; however, the highest pressure attained is dependent on the amount of water flow at the tool. The
maximum flow rate to maintain 200psi is 0.67gpm. This means to maintain 200psi the largest jet size is for a
single jet tool is 03 or two 015 jets on a dual jet cleaning wand.
• Smaller jets and lower flow will allow for higher pressure at the tool.
• Larger jets and higher flow will lower the maximum pressure attained at the tool.
The number found on the face of the jet, such as 8003, 95015 or 11004, states the size and shape of the jet
orifice. The first two or in some cases three numbers (80, 95 & 110) represent the spray angle. The last two or
in some cases three numbers (03, 015 & 04) represent the orifice size. The orifice size number represents the
flow through that jet at 40psi in tenths of a gallon per minute. Thus a small orifice such as 015 will flow
0.15gpm at 40psi. A larger orifice such as 04 will flow 0.40gpm at 40psi. (See chart below.)
Different jets with the same spray angle (8001, 8003 & 8004) can have different orifice sizes.
Different jets with the same orifice size (80015, 95015 & 110015) can have different spray angles.
Choose the jets that will meet the flow rate at your desired pressure and have the spray pattern suited to your
tool and type of cleaning.
If maintaining pressure becomes a problem, refer to the trouble shooting guide or contact your distributor for
advice or assistance.
